I only really got started recently. I'd always enjoyed layouts I'd seen over the years in stores, rail museums etc, then about three years I came across a layout by chance on the internet, and thought 'why don't I build one?' I only wish I'd started years ago! My first train set, however, was a Fleischmann battery-operated one, when I was about 10 (that was back in the mid 'Sixties). My mum got fed up of buying the big, expensive batteries it used, so got my dad to fit a mains plug to the leads. Luckily I wasn't touching the rails when I turned it on, as there was a loud band and a flash, and the loco was fused to the track! Not so sure I'm much more sensible now...
